5 major differences between sand making machine and crusher

Many people are “silly and unclear” about the sand making machine and crusher, and don’t know the relationship and difference between them, so they often get confused. Both sand making machines and crushers are crushing equipment, and both can crush mineral stones such as pebbles and limestone, but in fact they have certain differences.

1 different types
Sand making machine, also known as impact crusher, in fact, sand making machine is also one of the types of crushers. There are many types of crushers: jaw crushers, cone crushers, heavy hammer crushers, impact crushers and mobile crushers.

2 different functions
The sand making machine uses the principle of “stone-on-rock” crusher for processing. It is widely used in various hard and brittle materials such as various rocks, abrasives, refractory materials, cement clinker, quartz stone, iron ore, concrete aggregates, etc. Broken, finely crushed (sand making). It is suitable for construction sand and sand and gravel for road construction.

The crusher is mainly used for crushing medium hardness and brittle materials, such as granite, river pebbles, pebbles, limestone, etc.

3 The order of use is different
Crushers are generally used in stone production lines, and sand making machines are generally used in sand production lines and sand production lines. In the stone production line and sand production line, the crusher is used for the first stage of crushing, and the sand making machine is used for the second stage. If the lumpiness of the material is relatively small, it can also be directly used for the second stage of crushing.

4 Different feed size
The feed size of the crusher is relatively large, and the diameter is generally about 1 to 2 meters, which can directly crush the large stones mined from the mountain. The feed particle size of the sand making machine is relatively small, generally controlled at about 20-30cm, and the feed particle size is also clearly specified, and cannot exceed the limit set by the equipment, otherwise the equipment will be easily damaged.

5 Different discharge sizes
The particle size of the sand crushed by the crusher is usually controlled below 25mm, so that the sand making machine can perform the next sand making process, and the sand size after the sand making machine will be controlled within 5mm. After screening, select those suitable for construction Sand standard sand.

In layman’s terms, the sand making machine is used to make sand, that is, the stone is made into sand; the crusher is to break large stones into stones. The difference between the two is mainly in the process technology and processing links. It plays different roles in the sand production line and is an indispensable common equipment.
